Architect for Human Possibilities

Home | About Terry | Reading Room | Personal | Projects   A Virtual Visit to Lake Powell in October 2000 Every fall, my wife, Kater and I travel to some place that we have never been before. This year, our friends from Colorado invited us to join them on a house boat trip on Lake Powell. We had no idea what to expect. The week was packed with great scenery, warm days with starfilled cool nights, and wonderful swimming, hiking and water-skiing.   Join me as you see some of the wonderful scenery which I captured on my digital camera. The pictures are good, though being there is even better. € € € € € € My first picture is of the Shirley and Kater talking together as we are heading South within the first hour of getting on the houseboat. On the left is Castle Butte. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••   This picture is Tapesty Wall. It is huge. I'm added two more shots below to show you the size of this shear rock formation. TAPESTY WALL This is from the roof our houseboat. This represents the left hand side of the picture to your left - - the face of the wall was at least 300 feet high. € € € € € €   From Tapesty Wall -- heading south toward BullFrog and Halls Crossing, our friend Shirley took us into the Forgotten Canyon to see the Defiancee House ruins. These ruins are several hundred years old, and they are built into the side of the rock walls. The pictures do not do justice, though I will provide some commentary on what's what.   Here's the view from the water towards the ruins. I will provide an overview below with Kater in it. Forgotten Canyon This is looking down from the ruins.Shirley hung out in the boat in the center of the above picture. The view was spectacular! < - On the left, Kater is standing at the entrance of the ruins main underground room.   -> On the right is the primitive ladder leading from the underground room to the level Kater is standing on in the left picture. This was a great stopping place. Rich in history to say the least. € € € € € € This is a work in process so stop back over the next few weeks as I finish this adventure.
